Time document previews on real older phones #8

Open

Description

@devnithdev

Previews on the "Print this?" screen were made faster in version 4.2.5, but they were only measured on a computer slowed down to act like a phone: about 1.5 s for a 1-page PDF and about 2.7 s for a 40-page one. That test doesn't slow down all of the work, so real old phones will be slower. No coding is needed for this one.

What would help: if you have an older or low-cost Android phone or an old iPhone, install PrintBridge 4.2.5 or newer on a computer, open the printing page on the phone over Wi-Fi, and pick a PDF. Then reply with:

  • the phone model and how old it is, and its browser
  • the size of the PDF and how many pages it has
  • roughly how many seconds until the first page appears, on the first try and the second
  • whether anything froze, or the browser reloaded the page

No printer is needed, as you can close the screen without printing. Please don't share a document with private information in it.
